We ventured out in the snow for our Mini Mozarts class and out of 12 or so babies in the class we were one of three to show up (I mean there is only an inch of snow on the ground but people here don't know what to do with that). But the small class size was actually very cool. The woman leading Mini Mozart today was the co-owner and she had to have a career in theater because she had an absolutely beautiful strong voice and also played the violin. She had a woman with her that was playing the piano. Tyler loves class. They weave in a story about a princess and a frog to tie all the songs together. He gets a little bored and antsy during the story part but as soon as the instrument starts playing he is captivated. And since the class was so small today he got a lot of personal attention. He is in the class for babies - 15 months but is the oldest in the class. Most of the other babies are around 6 months old and just kind of sit and stare but he is all over the place. The woman today did a very nice job of reeling him back in when he started to drift. And his Nana has certainly brought out a love of piano from him. Now that he can move he is much more opinionated and he decided today that he wanted to play the piano with the woman (it also didn't help that the woman playing was very cute so he wanted to flirt a little too I think!). So while all of the babies were sitting under a parachute I was trying to wave the parachute with one hand and stop him from playing the piano with the other! Everyone was patient with us and we survived. Afterwards the owner made a comment about him being the firecracker of the classroom. I guess all we needed was for him to walk to come out of his shell!
Now we are home and Tyler is napping and I'm trying to get motivated to clean up the messy lunch he just had. Here are some lovely pictures of Hampstead in the snow!
